Illinois Rejects Relief Fund Bill Debate Fails to End Deadlock
In Springfield on Wednesday night the Illinois House again failed to pass the relief bill, needing 102 votes for emergency passage. The unofficial tally stood 90 to in favor of raising the sales tax to 3 percent to fund about 3 million dollars monthly for relief costs. The Illinois Emergency Relief Commission ceased operations after federal allotments were cut May 1. In Chicago Grant Park over 2,000 protesters demanded restored relief, with police out in force and a six-person delegation delivering complaints to the city hall. The crowd chanted Communist songs before disbanding to organize further demonstrations.
